Man stabbed on bus en route to Boston

WORCESTER 
Police this morning were investigating a stabbing that happened when a fight broke out on a bus carrying a group of young people back to Boston.

The stabbing victim was among a busload of people from the Boston area in town for a reggae music concert at the Venue Nightclub, 336 Main St. The victim, an unidentified male, was taken by ambulance to a local hospital following the incident that occurred just after 2 a.m. His condition was not immediately available.

Police arrested one man in connection with the stabbing.

The bus driver said she had just picked up the group and was about to head back to Boston when a fight started on the bus and one person was stabbed. The bus came to a stop at the corner of Main and Franklin streets, where a large contingent of police cruisers converged on the bus after police were called to the scene.

Police took pictures and gathered evidence on the bus, while a group of about 20 young people waited in the cold outside on the sidewalk in front of the Denholm building.

The bus, a yellow school bus, was owned by the Eastern Bus Company out of Somerville. It was not clear this morning who chartered the bus. The driver said the male who was in charge left shortly after the incident and she was unaware where he had gone.
